Simple Blackberry Crisp
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius. To make the baking process more efficient, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent any mess.
2
Mix together the flour, half cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into small pieces until you achieve a mixture that resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add boiling water to the mixture just until it is evenly moistened.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a smooth mixture. Next, combine the remaining half cup of sugar, blackberries, and lemon juice in this bowl. Transfer the mixture to a cast iron skillet and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly.
4
Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough mixture into the skillet. Once you've added all the dough, place the cast iron skillet onto the prepared baking sheet.
5
Finally, bake the dish in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
